The Calgary Stampeders will face the only team they have yet to play in 2019 when the Montreal Alouettes come to McMahon Stadium. Kickoff is at 5 p.m.

Both sides will be looking to get back on track following Week 9 losses. The Stamps (5-3) were dealt a 26-24 defeat in Winnipeg and the Alouettes (3-4) fell 17-10 at home to Saskatchewan.

With a victory on Saturday, the Red and White will earn a 10th consecutive home win over the Als. Calgary is 12-6 overall against Montreal during that period.

The Stampeders have a league-high 24 takeaways while Montreal has committed a CFL-low 10 turnovers.

Next week’s schedule has the Stamps on their second bye of the year. Montreal will serve as the road team in the Touchdown Atlantic game from Moncton, N.B., as they face the Toronto Argonauts.

Saturday, Oct. 5 will see Calgary head east to conclude their season series with the Alouettes.

Incidentally, Saturday’s game comes exactly 100 days before the kickoff for the 107th Grey Cup game at McMahon Stadium.
